Chapter 5444 of the Dragon Emperor’s Order: What Can You Do to Me?
His face was as pale as paper, his eyes sunken, his lips as red as blood. He radiated a suffocating evil aura.
Around him, four demon generals were also absorbing the power of the dead souls.
Demon General Mo Yuan’s body had solidified by nearly 60%, his previously blurry figure now clearly visible. He wore black armor, wielded a large black spear engraved with terrifying runes, and exuded a terrifying aura.
The other three demon generals were in the same situation, their bodies solidifying at a noticeable speed, their strength continuously increasing.
In a corner of the hall, Elder Xue Wuying of the Evil Path Hall watched this scene, his heart aching.
He had painstakingly collected these dead souls, intending to use them to cultivate his evil arts and increase his own strength. He never imagined that the Soul Devourer would force them.
He watched the soul light within the soul urn grow dimmer, furious but unable to voice his anger.
The Soul Devourer was too powerful for him to resist. He could only stand idly by, watching his hard work being plundered.
“Hahaha…”
The Soul Devourer suddenly burst out laughing, his voice filled with joy and satisfaction. “The power of these souls is indeed extraordinary. Soon, I will be able to fully condense my body and recover my peak strength! At that time, I will not only be able to reach the Sixth Heaven, but even the Ninth Heaven!”
Mo Yuan and the others also stopped absorbing the souls, feeling the increasing power within their bodies, and satisfied smiles appeared on their faces.
“Your Majesty is wise!”
Mo Yuan said respectfully, “As long as Master regains his peak strength, no one in the Sixth Heaven will be able to stop us!”
The other three demon generals echoed, their arrogant laughter filling the hall.
At that moment, a loud roar suddenly resounded from the sky, followed by a golden light that pierced through the dark fog that enveloped the Divine Capital, illuminating the entire city.
The expressions of the Soul Eater and the demon generals changed, and they all looked up at the sky.
A giant golden warship slowly emerged from the clouds. On board, three hundred guards in golden armor lined up in formation, spears in hand, a sacred aura enveloping them.
At the bow of the warship, Ling Xi, dressed in a turquoise robe, looked like a fairy from the Ninth Heaven descending to earth. Her gaze, as cold as ice, silently gazed down at the Divine Capital below.
Beside her, David, Wu Hao, Ling Yue, Zi Yuan, and the others also looked down with solemn expressions.
Their faces darkened when they saw how the Soul Eater and the demon generals’ bodies had hardened.
“I didn’t expect the Soul Eater to recover so quickly!”
Wu Hao said solemnly, his eyes filled with worry. “At this rate, it won’t be long before he fully recovers to his peak strength!”
Ling Yue also frowned. “These demon souls have absorbed many dead souls, and their strength has increased greatly. It seems this battle won’t be easy.”
Zi Yuan gripped her sword tightly, her eyes filled with tension. “David, you must be careful!”
David nodded, tightening his grip on the Dragon Slaying Sword. Golden spiritual energy enveloped him, ready for battle.
The warship slowly landed on the square outside the Divine Capital. Ling Xi led the others down the warship, facing the Soul Devourer and the others from a distance.
Lingxi stared at the Soul Devourer, her brows slightly furrowed, and a solemn tone was implied in her cold voice: “Soul Devourer, I never expected you to be able to absorb the souls of the dead to restore your strength. It seems I underestimated you.”
The Soul Devourer sneered, his eyes filled with contempt: “Lingxi, don’t think you can defeat me just because you brought so many people! When my strength is fully restored, not only you, but even the God King will not be my match!”
